Forecasts

Portelet Bay (3/1), Knockabout Queen (10/3), Admirable Lad (4/1), Hard Solution (6/1), Needwood Blossom (11/1), Miss Prancealot (12/1), Kelinda Dice (14/1), Rockesbury (16/1), Lasting Beauty (18/1), Tilsworth Rose (50/1)

HARD SOLUTION is a solid horse at this sort of level and is taken to resume winning ways under Adam Kirby. Admirable Lad is another who arrives in a good vein of form and is feared most ahead of Tony Carroll's Knockabout Queen.
